REFERENCE made yesterday to the de-
lection of Maryland Democrats from the
reign of German, Higgins, ct al. The
New York Times sounds the alarm to
President Cleveland in this matter as
follows:
The action of the independent Demo-
Gratis under the courageous lead of MIR.
Cowan renders the issue in Maryland
still more sharp. Mr.. Cowan pledges
his support to the Republican candi-
dates on the distinct ground that his
own party is corrupted by German and
that German has been enabled to re-
ward his agents in corruption in State
and Federal offices. This is a very re-
markable stand for prominent party
man to take. 1t certainly could not be
taken without grave provocation. 1t re-
moves the issue in Maryland from all
party connections, and defines it beyond
all mistake as between corrupt party
politics, sustained by the worst practices
of the spoils system and independent,
honest political action. In such a quar-
rel there is no room for doubt as to
where the sympathies of all right-mind-
ed men must be. They must be with
the Republican party and its allies
among the Independent Democrats; and
if in 30 bestowing them they appear to
be in opposition to the administration
for the time being, that is misfortune
that it ls in the power Of the President
to avert. Let him cut the cables by
which the German pirates have bound
themselves to him. Let him dismiss
from the service the men German has
fastened upon it. He has done many
good things. He has resisted many bad
ones. Let him undo the mistake by
which he has permitted his worst foes
TO dishearten, battle and defy some of
bis best friends. We shall not argue
that such course promptly and firmly
taken would not harm but would help
him before the people, but we ask him
to consider candidIy how great and i'm
mediate would be the advantage to the
reform cause.
